Receptions
Thomas Winkler wrote in Spiegel Online: " She skillfully combines the rhetoric of the hit song with the aesthetics of rock and translates its outdated Heart Pain romance in the flowery language of modern New Age activists. This modernized sentiment fits well into the back seat of a motorcycle how to belly dance studio, everywhere there just where people are looking for support and guidance " Daniela Reichert keeps the album only halfway audible and was critical in laut.de ". Nena shows how difficult it may be, chose to cover sensitive songs and classics. What they held here, is just cruel. Two things are particularly on: Lack of creativity, which is almost too nice sounds for the loveless arrangements of the songs, and a merciless overestimation of their own vocal skills ".
